glorify Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 3.1 is really sweet as far as Twitter integration. One thing I am using now is a hack that automatically Tweets new topics from selected forums. Will this be a feature since you have gone this far with integration?

Josh Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 It's not currently feature, at the moment you only have the option to send your status updates to Twitter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rikki Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 You can manually share topics on Twitter by using the 'Share this topic' icon at the bottom of the topic, but you can't automatically tweet new topics, no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right, that's why the suggestion. Board owners who use Twitter to promote their site like myself like this. I am not a fan of using something 3rd party to do this, rather have it built in. It's much easier than manually tweeting to the admins Twitter account. You have done a great job with integration, why not consider this as well? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glorify Posted March 24, 2010 Author Share Posted March 24, 2010 you could always use twitterfeed in conjunction with an rss feed for a forum. I used that before the mod I currently use was created. One of the nice things it does is post 'via Glorifythepast.com' instead of 'via Twitterfeed' as the tweet origination and everything is configurable thru the admincp. Here's a screen of something that was Tweeted automatically: Like I said, just throwing it out there. IPB is going further than anyone integrating Twitter into the software and this is a feature I currently use that drives traffic, looks great, and is customisable all from my admincp.
